summary

Mining centralization is the problem and the concrete fixes are Stratum V2, a revived P2Pool-style Braid Pool and open hardware like Bitx. Braid Pool aims to reduce payout variance without central share accounting but adds complexity versus old P2Pool. Bitx proves the stack can work — a single Bitx-rate worker connected to CK Pool found a block (template share reported at ~300T vs network ~82T) showing solo open hardware is feasible. Stratum V2 enables miners to run their own node and choose blocks.
